Time to update your sandbox.

13 April 2009 Version 3.36 of Sandboxie is now available for download.

Wow! I've never heard of sandboxie before! This is sooo cool for us computer geeks with OCD!!!!

evilfantasy · « **Reply #2 on:** April 14, 2009, 07:48:16 PM »

It's saved me a few times when investigating sites that I knew might be infected. And allows me to download known malicious software without actually infecting myself.

Just remember nothing is bulletproof. While I have not seen Sandboxie fail yet there is always a chance. Be careful and don't let anything out of the sandbox accidentally.

How does sandboxie work/function?

Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.

When sanddboxed it is sort of like a separate secure browser. Anything running in it will not make any changes to the system files/registry or even touch your hard drive. You can also run software without actually installing it.

Basically it's a virtual environment.

Cool...so basically, if I activate the sandbox then run an unknown program, it can't hurt my system?

evilfantasy · « **Reply #6 on:** April 14, 2009, 08:21:32 PM »

I wouldn't say "can't". There is always a chance for error with anything.

If you want to run whatever sandboxed just right click it and choose 'Run Sandboxed'. It can be your browser or an installer or even an installed program.

To dump everything in the sandbox just right click the little icon in the system tray and make your choice.

Exactly what was asked when I posted this program up last year.

Anyways, thanks Evilfantasy.

Then where does it go? Is it downloaded to sandboxie's server or what?

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #9 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:14:54 PM »

C:\Sandbox\

For example, if you install something in the sandbox, the program files will go:
C:\Sandbox\Drive\C\Program Files\Program Name

paudashlake · « **Reply #10 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:24:31 PM »

so it does touch your hard drive!!!!!!

evilfantasy · « **Reply #11 on:** April 18, 2009, 10:24:04 AM »

It's in the sandbox. Clear the sandbox and it's gone.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #12 on:** April 18, 2009, 11:07:59 AM »

To add to my last post, any registry entries the program creates will be created in the sandbox's registry substitute, which I believe is C:\Sandbox.

Benefits of the Isolated Sandbox

* Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.

* Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don't leak into Windows.

* Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can't break out of the sandbox and can't infect your real system.

* Windows Stays Lean: Prevent wear-and-tear in Windows by installing software into an isolated sandbox.

I'd better get it once I'm finished getting rid of my virus/malware problem...This could save me a lot of time!

Is this a free program? It does look rather cool

evilfantasy · « **Reply #16 on:** April 18, 2009, 05:47:21 PM »

There are free and paid version.s

Ok this makes more sense. It is sorta like solitary confinement for programs. They are there, just in an inescapable barrier!

This something like sandboxie, but sandboxie for applications. Disk write copy protect whole drive.

Quote

A program to protect Windows systems using virtualization technology data. Can protect one or more selected sections of the hard disk.
When the regime for the protection of the program creates a virtual copy of the selected partition. The technical and visual terms to the user does not change, but all data on protected disk remains intact, and all changes are written to the virtual copy, which you work. Accordingly, all the changes (deleting the registry format, virus infected disk, the files downloaded to disk or to the system) will remain on a virtual copy. When you restart your computer, a virtual copy erased all modified data in the new session, a new virtual copy made from the original disc. That is, unless you disable the password protection.

The second regime for the protection of "Incremental" works differently.
When the incremental backup mode, the program creates a virtual copy of the selected disc, just writes all changes to a virtual copy, but when you turn off or restart the computer, the copy is not erased. You will continue to work with a virtual copy of the new session with the data that you have changed. And so the next session will be filled. To return to the original and delete the virtual copy, you should simply turn off the protection mode.

It appears to be nothing like Sandboxie.

Sandboxie isolates a program within a sandboxed environment.

Not an unreasonable question from someone who didn't see the post you made last year, Carbon. (Such as myself.)

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #25 on:** April 27, 2009, 05:18:09 AM »

Meant to be a joke, Aegis.

There is a very good explanation on Sandboxie's website.

Aegis · « **Reply #26 on:** April 27, 2009, 08:00:32 AM »

I will check out the site, Carbon.

I ought have realized you were teasing.
